📌 Abstract: Using U.S. plant-level data, we find that corporate emissions decline significantly when labor mobility increases due to weaker enforcement of covenants not to compete (CNCs) in the states of residency. The effect is more pronounced for firms relying more on highly skilled labor and intangible capital, having lower degrees of financial constraints, or facing greater product market competition. We further document that, as labor mobility restrictions relax, treated firms increase their green innovation and green investment. Our results suggest that greater labor mobility improves corporate environmental performance through boosting emission abatement activities, highlighting an environmental benefit of labor mobility.
